“Genetic data analysis/exploration using R (GDAR03)” www.prstatistics.com/course/genetic-data-analysis-exploration-using-r-gdar03/ Delivered by Dr. Thibaut Jombart who authors the adegenet package and Dr. Zhian Kamvar. This course will run from the 23rd - 27th October 2017 at Margam discovery centre in Wales, United Kingdom. Course Overview: This course provides a comprehensive introduction to exploratory statistical methods used in population genetics and molecular ecology. Participants will become proficient in a range of approaches for uncovering genetic structures from usual genetic data including most genetic markers (e.g. microsatellites, SNPs, AFLP) and genetic sequences (DNA or amino-acid). After covering different types of phylogenetic reconstruction, and basic population genetics tests, a strong emphasis will be put on using factorial methods (e.g. Principal Component Analysis) for investigating genetic diversity. In particular, we will focus on the identification and description of genetic clusters, and on characterising spatial genetic patterns. The last day of the course will be an open problem day, where participants will be able to analyse their own data. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Monday 23rd – Intro to phylogenetic reconstruction. Module 1a: Reconstructing phylogenies from genetic sequence data. Three main approaches covered: distance-based phylogenies; maximum parsimony; and likelihood-based approaches. Module 1b: Short R refresher. Practical 1: Phylogenetic reconstruction using R. Three main approaches plus rooting a tree; assessing/testing for a molecular clock; and bootstrapping. Main packages: ape, phangorn. Tuesday 24th – Intro to multivariate analysis of genetic data Module 2: Key concepts in multivariate analysis. Focus on using factorial methods for genetic data analysis. Practical 2: Basics of multivariate analysis of genetic data in R. Topics include: data handling, population genetic tests of population structure (PCA, PCoA). Main packages: adegenet, ade4, ape. Wednesday 25th – Exploring group diversity Module 3: Approaches to identifying and describing genetic clusters. Topics include: hierarchical clustering, K-means, population-level multivariate analysis (between-group-PCA, DA, DAPC). Practical 3: Applying the approaches covered in morning lecture and emphasising their strengths and weaknesses. Main packages: adegenet, ade4. Thursday 26th – Spatial genetic structures Module 4: Discussing the origin and significance of spatial genetic patterns, and how to test for them. Practical 4: Visualising and analysing spatial genetic data. Topics: spatial density estimates, Moran/Mantel tests, mapping principal components in PCA, spatial PCA. Main packages: adegenet, adehabitat, ade4. Friday 27th – Classes from 09:00 to 16:00 Using R for reproducible science. Module 5: Using R for reproducible science Practical 5: Practical session based on morning lecture Main packages: knitr, Sweave, rmarkdown ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please email any inquiries to oliverhoo...@prstatistics.com or visit our website www.prstatistics.com Please feel free to distribute this material anywhere you feel is suitable ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Upcoming PR statistics courses 1.
